Our masonry servicesfrom chimney to driveway
We find what's moving the foundation first, then repair the cracked block or brick so it isn't just a patch.
Loose brick, worn joints or a cracked crown, the concrete cap on top, fixed before water gets further into the chimney.
For sound brick with worn joints, we grind out the old mortar and pack in new so the wall looks clean and even again.
Cracked, flaking or loose bricks cut out and replaced, matched as close as we can get to the brick already on your house.
A paver driveway built on a packed base, with edging that holds the pavers in place so they sit flat under your cars.
Need to hold back soil or level part of the yard? We build the wall with drainage behind it so water has a way out.
Older brick and stone cleaned, repaired and repointed to match, for houses where you'd rather keep the original look.
A new brick or stone fireplace, laid out with you before we start so the size and look suit the room.
Thin stone set over a wall, column or fireplace face, giving you the look of solid stone without the weight.
Block walls for privacy or along a property line, set on a solid footing and finished to go with the house.
Block foundation walls for an addition or new build, laid on a footing we check before the first row goes down.
The block, brick or stone base for your grill, counters and bar, sized so the appliances you've picked fit right.
Brick, paver or stone paths from the driveway to the door or out to the yard, set on a base so they sit even.
New brick garden walls and screen walls, laid with straight joints and topped with a cap that sheds water.
Natural stone laid by hand for walls, steps and borders, when you want an entry or yard built from the real thing.
Cracked or missing mortar in a few spots, filled in before it grows into a bigger repair. Usually it's a small job.
Plenty of houses need more than one of these, and I'll tell you which comes first. Price and schedule turn on the damage, the materials and any permit, and your written estimate spells it out.

Why Apopka homeowners call uswhen a wall or chimney needs work
Working with us is plain. We tell you what we see, put what we'll do in writing and then build what we wrote.
The estimate is what gets built
Because I stay on your job with the crew, what you hear at the estimate is what our masons build, not someone else's idea of it.
Fix now, or let it wait
If a crack is old and stable or a wall only needs a little pointing, I'll tell you so, even when that means a smaller job for us.
One crew for the whole house
Chimney, foundation, pavers and retaining walls are all our own masons' work, so you aren't juggling a different contractor for each part of the house.
Permits pulled in our name
When a job needs a permit, we pull it ourselves and set up the inspections, so the work is on record and the paperwork isn't yours.
On our own since 2013
I ran jobs and crews for another mason around Apopka for years, then went out on my own in 2013, so what I know came from doing the work.
Straight answers before you sell

Questions homeowners ask us
How much does masonry repair cost in Apopka?
There's no single price, because a loose chimney crown and a cracked foundation wall are different jobs, so I give you a number after I've seen yours. What moves it most is how much has to come out, the material you pick and what's behind the damage. The estimate is free and in writing.
Is it cheaper to just patch a crack in my brick or block wall?
A patch costs less up front, but if whatever is moving the wall keeps moving, the crack usually comes back and you end up paying twice. That's why we look for the cause first, and if nothing is behind it, a patch is the right call.
How long does a masonry repair take in Apopka?
It depends on how big the job is, what we find once it's opened up and whether a permit and inspections are part of it, so I set the schedule with you after the estimate. A small pointing job and a new retaining wall are very different amounts of work.
What license does a masonry contractor need to pull a permit in Apopka?
To pull a City of Apopka permit, a contractor has to show a current state license or registration and an Orange County competency license for that type of work, and be registered with the city. We're licensed and insured, and it's fair to ask any contractor you're comparing to show you theirs.
What's included in a written masonry estimate?
Ours spells out what actually goes into the work, like grout, base and drainage, so you can line it up against other quotes and see what each one leaves out. If one quote comes in much lower, check whether those pieces are in it.
Do you guarantee your masonry work?
Yes, satisfaction guaranteed on every job. I'm on site while the crew works, so if something doesn't look right to you, you can tell me while it's happening.
Can you match the old brick and mortar on my house?
Usually we can get close, but an exact match on older brick isn't always possible, and I'll tell you at the estimate how near we can get. On a wall people see every day, it's worth the time to find brick of the right size and color and blend the mortar to what's there.
Who issues building permits in Apopka, FL?
In the City of Apopka, Community Development Services issues construction permits and handles the inspections. The city says getting a permit is the law, and it can fine or stop work done without one. If it isn't clear whether your job needs one, we check with the city or county office before we start.
